Kling AI released v3.5 with native 1080p/60fps video output, extended Pro-tier clip length to 2 minutes, improved motion physics, and a major corporate development: Kuaishou is evaluating a spin-off of Kling AI at an approximate $20 billion valuation.
1080p/60fps and 2-minute clips
Kling v3.5 generates video at native 1080p resolution at 60 frames per second — the highest frame rate available in the AI video generation market at the time of release. High frame rates are critical for motion-heavy content like action sequences, sports visualization, and product demonstrations where lower frame rates produce a "cinematic" look that may not suit the content. The 2-minute maximum clip length on Pro tier is the longest single generation available across major AI video platforms, enabling more complete narrative sequences without splicing multiple clips.
Improved motion physics
v3.5 includes targeted improvements to fluid dynamics and cloth simulation. Water, fabric, hair, and other physically complex materials now behave more accurately in motion — addressing a category of artifacts (unnatural material behavior) that has been a consistent weakness across all AI video generators. For product visualization, fashion content, and natural scene generation, these physics improvements directly improve output believability.
Kuaishou spin-off evaluation
Kuaishou, the Chinese short-video platform that developed Kling AI, is evaluating spinning off Kling AI as an independent company at an approximate valuation of $20 billion. The spin-off structure would allow Kling AI to raise dedicated capital and pursue international expansion independently from Kuaishou's core business. No timeline or formal announcement has been made — the valuation figure reflects internal discussions and early investor conversations.
Why it matters
Kling v3.5's combination of 60fps, 2-minute clips, and improved physics makes it the most capable platform for long-form and motion-intensive AI video generation. The potential $20B spin-off valuation would make Kling AI one of the most valuable AI companies in the world, signaling that AI video generation at scale is being valued comparably to leading AI model companies.
